Overview

About Applegarth

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Applegarth is a four-bedroom detached house in East Farleigh, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2011–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £707,000 sits 57.1% above the 2012 sale of £450,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in November 2012.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Applegarth is modelled from its 175 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0PZ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Applegarth. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Applegarth was lodged in June 2013 at band E and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Applegarth. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 0PZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Applegarth is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
